Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction 2008 Shortlist

Sarah Hall won Tiptree Award for The Carhullan Army (American title: Daughters of the North) It also won the 2007 John Llewellyn Rhys Prize for the best work of literature (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, drama) from Britain or the Commonwealth written by an author of 35 or under.

Nnedi's The Shadow Speaker was on the honors list for Tiptree. Yay!!! Nnedi has been winning a lot of recognition for that lovely book.
I was also kinda hoping Sylvia Kelso's Amberlight would be recognized by Tiptree. Maybe next year.
